In all seriousness it’s very exciting, I just don’t need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol
We got it? Nice… Gotta go and make a meme about it.
If you can’t beat 'em join 'em
There are memes about this??? Where can I find one?
Here’s one https://programming.dev/post/11087762
Damn, I was about to reply saying a very polite “no shit, that’s the joke” then decided to check the link in case it was funny. I’ve been had by my own shit. Thanks for that.
i’ll switch 100% to linux when Logitech supports my steering wheel.
Which one? The G27/G920/G29 and some others are supported pretty much out of the box.
Not thanks to Logitech but they do work fine.
G928 and the pedals and shifter
Do you mean the G923? Can’t find a G928 anywhere. The G923 is supported since kernel 6.3.
I couldn’t get it working correctly. Regularly disconnects and misshifts. I admit I didn’t try as hard.
That’s strange. Do you happen to use a USB extension cables to reach your steering wheel?
I noticed that Linux is far worse than Windows in recovering from USB errors. Most of the time it will just stop working where Windows will ignore the error and continue.
If you are interested in diagnosing the issue you can run
journalctl -fin a terminal while playing and check the logs when an issue occurs. USB errors will be marked red in the log.
Dont you get it? Every year is the year of linux.
To forestall the year 2038 problem maybe we could just start reckoning time based on years of the linux desktop.
Today is 06 March 33 YLD
Linux desktop and fusion energy have something in common, it seems.
No one realizes that the equation to calculate both of them have a limit where a value is devided by x where x is approaching 0
The only thing it can’t do is leave the lab.
Are all top 500 super computers, all the computers at CERN, the servers at Google, Facebook, Amazon, Azure, Netflix, eBay, etc, just a lab?
It was a joke. This is /c/linuxmemes not /c/howtobepedanticaboutanoperatingsystemyoulike
Contrary to the idea that most of these new users come from steam decks, I’ve had 3 of my friends switch to or at least partially use linux. We are certainly growing.
Microsoft has made their os so annoying and I loath when their updates revert settings that took me an hour to find in the first place. Or worse, remove the settings and features I liked to shove some more bs ads and data harvesting down my throat.
So yeah, I’m planning on downloading Linux mint to a flash drive and giving it a try on one of my laptops this month.
We finally hopped ship this year. Some small bs antifeature finally pissed us off enough to (gasp) learn something new and now I can’t find my way out of Vim.
Did you try to alt+F4 ? I want to jump ship too, next computer will have an AMD graphic card. I only have Nvidia ones and it crash games on Linux.
Damn, a lot of people bought Steam Decks.
Upvote for Jimmy Neutron meme
Every year is the year of the linux desktop. It’s just that most don’t k ow it yet.
The combined number of years of my marriage and the ages of all of my children is a number that when subtracted from 2024 would not equal the first time I heard this.
Yeah, everyone knows the year of Linux will be in +∞
every year since 2022 is the year of the Linux desktop. get used to it nerd
Every year since 1993 is the year is the Linux desktop 😎
While I love the meme, Linux is doing pretty good recently
I’m just waiting for windows 12. If reports are to be believed, it’s going to be a subscription cloud OS, probably with a thin client. If they really go through with that, then I can imagine linux gaining some ground in 2026 when windows 11 hits EOL.
Windows 11 EOL in 2 years?
Quite possibly.
Windows 8 reached end of support in only 4 years.
Particularly if Microsoft thinks they can get away with “Operating System as a subscription” as part of “Windows 12”, then they may well be very aggressive about retiring Windows 11. The software companies are falling all over themselves to force people to pay monthly in perpetuity.
However, I’m thinking that Microsoft sees Windows as their gateway drug, so I don’t think they’d risk making the base platform subscription. They want people to still get “free” OS that nags them with “hey, give us money for backup storage, and you want office, right, and oh you are a powershell user I see? Then you’ll just love renting an Azure instance so we’ll advertise that as part of launching a powershell prompt?” They’ll of course continue the milk the OEMs for license fees offset by bloated “sampleware”, and still ostensibly charge for it to drive the perception of value, but broadly Windows is more a launching board for steering people toward Microsoft subscription services.
If they did throw the switch on “subscription for OS”, then they’d risk people just getting ChromeBooks which will steer the users instead toward Google Docs and Google Drive and all the other services Microsoft expressly doesn’t want users to get into.
I doubt Microsoft is that dumb, though.
Don’t think of it like that. Think of it like, “next quarter’s profits”.
It takes a lot of effort for non-technical people to switch to a new OS. Microsoft can capitalize on that to rake in egregious profits for probably five years or more before businesses finish sincere efforts at supporting Linux.
Yeah, probably they aren’t, but who knows. Unity thought they were infallible and went for their “pay the installation fee or else” that gave power to engines like Godot.
